Dodgers OF Yasiel Puig is back with Rancho Cucamonga, rehabbing an early-season hamstring injury for the second time, and he went 2-for-4 with a double as the Quakes defeated the Jethawks in Lancaster, 8-5. He played seven innings.
Just about a month ago, Puig only got seven ABs with the Quakes before re-aggravating the injury. Last night, the 2014 NL All Star was in the middle of a first-inning rally, doubling and scoring as Rancho got out to a 2-0 lead.
The Jethawks tied it at two in the bottom of the inning but the visiting Quakes outlasted them, with Cody Bellinger and Tyler Ogle launching two-run homers.
